Study: Patients need wake-up call about link between kidney disease, diabetes
NEW YORK — A multicultural study that will appear in the March issue of the Journal of Renal Care underscored the relationship between kidney disease and diabetes, and the need for greater awareness of this link.
In this small study, 23 South Asian diabetes patients and 25 white diabetes patients between the ages of 34 years and 79 years — with an average age of just older than 70 years — were surveyed to note any differences in the experiences, knowledge and attitudes of the two groups.
The researchers, led by Gurch Randhawa, director of the Institute for Health Research at the University of Bedfordshire, and research fellow Emma Wilkinson, found that many of the patients studied were unaware of possible kidney problems before their referral to specialist services. Overall, patients felt that they had received limited information about possible complications when they were diagnosed with diabetes, the researchers noted.
"Our research shows that low awareness and lack of information about kidney problems are common in both the South Asian and white patients we spoke to," Randhawa said. "In some cases, this was exacerbated by language barriers. The findings also demonstrate that the long-term educational needs of patients who have had diabetes for many years are just as important as the need to make newly diagnosed patients aware of all the health risks they face."
Walgreens shows 'there's a way' with private-label offerings
NEW YORK — Walgreens is in the process of introducing a wide-scale national campaign that has its pharmacists recommending Walgreens store-brand products in favor of national brands, the New York Times reported Thursday.
The new ad campaign, an extension of Walgreens' "There's a Way" campaign introduced last year, will mark the first time the company is promoting its private-label offerings beyond the Sunday circulars and in-store point-of-purchase material.
The reason behind the change in tactics is simple — store brand is in vogue. Out of more than 1,000 adults surveyed in January, 84% purchased a store-brand over-the-counter medicine, and 36% noted that they had increased their amount of private-label purchases in the past year, according to a survey conducted by Opinion Research on behalf of Walgreens, the Times reported.
Walgreens will be featuring the campaign as part of its partnership with ParentsAsk.com, which first was implemented last spring. ParentsAsk.com features a Walgreens-branded site with advice videos from Walgreens pharmacist Stacia Woodcock. Woodcock also will be recommending Walgreens' store-brand products. Check out the videos here.
According to the Times report, Walgreens will place banner ads comparing Walgreens' store brands with name brands on such websites as ABC.com and CBS.com. Walgreens also will partner with the women-centric blog publishing network BlogHer.
Martin's Super Markets names new VP operations
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Martin's Super Markets has promoted Tim Killelea to VP operations, the chain said.
Martin's, founded in 1947, operates 21 stores in northern Indiana and Michigan, but is a separate company from Martin's Food Markets, which is part of Royal Ahold's Pennsylvania-based Giant-Carlisle chain.
The company said Killelea, who began as a store manager in Mishawaka, Ind., in 1969, would have primary responsibility for overseeing all aspects of store operations for the retailer.
"Tom's dedication and commitment to Martin's have played significant roles in our continued growth," Martin's president and CEO Rob Bartels said. "In his new position, Tom will have the ability to expand his vision to include not only our current stores, but also have a hand in helping shape the future of the company."

This is the first time in over 3 years that I have been completely pain free! Thank you so much for creating something that's discreet and has given me back my quality of life, i couldn't be happier.

"PAINmate has more than anything else allowed me to control my pain levels"
I have long standing lower back pain from a car accident some 25 years ago. After years and years of physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment and various exercise regimes, the use of PAINmate has more than anything else allowed me to control my pain levels with little additional medication. My family also uses the device for muscular strains and aches. I would fully recommend giving PAINMate a go.

"I have suffered from chronic shoulder, neck and migraine related pain for over 2.5 years…"
I have suffered from chronic shoulder, neck and migraine related pain for over 2.5 years. Initially I was unsure if this device would work for me. I have now used the PAINmate daily since I purchased it two months ago.The PAINmate has helped me aid the pain between treatments. Whilst this product cannot replace physical therapy, it definitely does provide relief without having to rely on medication.
Krista Mavrantonis – NSW
"The PAINmate is light and unobtrusive so I am able to use at work"
After recently purchasing a PAINmate I have found it to be very useful. Suffering from regular headaches and migraine I am able to use the PAINmate when my back and shoulder muscles start to tense and still continue what I am doing. The PAINmate is light and unobtrusive so I am able to use at work as well as at home and is easily carried in the small case included. I have since recommended the product to several family and friends as I have found it to be very effective.
Emily Green – Oakdowns
"Relief was noticed after the first 20 minute session"
We purchased the PAINmate product from the Life Style Expo at Rosehill recently, and today my wife had neck pain and so I suggested that she try the product. We though it was a bit fiddly setting it up, but we finally succeeded. And I am pleased to say relief was noticed after the first 20 minute session. We are going away soon, and the PAINmate will be joining us. We are thankful we saw your stand, keep up the good work.

"This PAINmate TENS device is fantastic for RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME!"
"This PAINmate TENS device is fantastic for RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME! I have suffered with this irritating condition for as long as I can remember, I have tried all the medications available, which do give relief for a while, until the body builds resistance. I saw this little device in a pharmacy, read the information leaflet, and just thought I would give it a go for my legs. The price of $49.99 I thought was affordable and worth taking the chance on. The reason it caught my attention, is because it is wireless, and I thought the vibration may detract from the irritating, uncomfortable feelings in my legs. They were driving me crazy! Anyone who is a sufferer of this condition would understand….lol. Anyway I am so glad I bought this device, it's incredible, the relief aaaaahhh! About the only thing I could say that would make the product better, would be for the manufacturers to sell them in twin packs….one device for each leg. But apart from that, it's brilliant for what I wanted to use it for. I really hope this post helps other RLS sufferers, I swear this is the relief you've all been searching for. In saying that, RLS is not what the TENS device is marketed for, so this is my own experience!"
Tania Darlin (via FB)
"I have been able to sleep at night because of the relief I have been getting"
I have had pain issues in my muscles in most of my body for many years. After living on lots of pain killers and a morphine patch, I have been able to reduce some of my pain medication. I believe this is due to using your product. After using PAINmate, I have been able to sleep at night because of the relief I have been getting. I have tried many things to reduce my pain level but after using PAINmate for the last few weeks I can not believe the difference, many thanks!
Michael Christophers, SA
"Using the PAINmate has reduced the pain dramatically"
Thank you for the PAINmate tens device, it is fantastic! As I am 66 years of age and recently fell from the ceiling onto the floor, compressing vertebrae in my spin coursing sharp pain, using the PAINmate has reduced the pain dramatically.
Paul Toolan, SA
"I found PAINmate to be an affordable way to help manage the pain"
After reigniting an ongoing low back problem recently a family member referred me to PAINmate. I found PAINmate to be an affordable way to help manage the pain whilst the convenience of being able to use it anytime anywhere.
Robert, QLD
"I would definitely recommend anyone with pain to give it a go"
"I have suffered on and off for several years with an aching shoulder so thought I would give this new Painmate TENS device a go. I have used other TENS machines before, but this one is great. I can wear it at work as it has no wires, therefore I can wear it under my clothes and no one knows I have it on. I have also found it helps me get to sleep on nights when my shoulder is playing up. I would definitely recommend anyone with pain to give it a go!"
Nick Dineen – Tasmania
"It is great to have such a compact TENS treatment device"
The PAINmate is great as it does not take up much more than the space of a mobile phone in your pocket . If you only have a 30 minute lunch break you can slap it straight on and have 1 full session of treatment, where other models by the time you untangle the cords and pads lunchtime is over. It is great to have such a compact TENS treatment device that really works and portable enough to take anywhere and so simple to use. I have actually bought some for friends as presents as they have never heard of a TENS device being so portable. Don't stuff around, if you are in pain get one now!
John – NSW
"It was exactly what I needed"
I couldn't wait to use the PAINmate, and it was exactly what I needed after having nerve damage to my lower back. I'm sure it helped get me back to work earlier than I thought. Thanks so much
Anonymous – NSW
"I could notice a huge reduction in pain"
"I suffer from RSI in my wrist so thought I'd give Painmate TENS machine a try. I was pleasantly surprised that after the first 20 minute cycle I could notice a huge reduction in pain and was able to continue my afternoon working at my computer."
Maree – Tasmania

If you have a tooth that has damage too extensive for a dental filling, you may be a candidate for an inlay or onlay. Both inlays and onlays provide vital strength and protection to a damaged tooth. Dr. Craig Miller and his team will ensure you receive quality inlays and onlays to maintain your bite and your smile when you visit his Livingston, NJ, practice. At The Miller Center, we partner with an outstanding dental lab that uses realistic-looking, state-of-the-art materials.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and Onlays Can Provide Conservative Protection and Strength
Inlays and onlays can restore your ability to bite and chew, even if you have a large cavity or cracked tooth.
Is an Inlay or Onlay Right for You?
Inlays and onlays are a conservative restorative option that cover the chewing surfaces of a damaged tooth. These restorations are sometimes called partial crowns, but are more conservative than traditional crowns.
An inlay is smaller than an onlay. This restoration will typically rest between the cusps of molars. An onlay can rest between the cusps, but may also replace one or more cusps and extend down the side of a tooth. Both restorations provide significant strength to a tooth that requires repair beyond the capabilities of a filling.
Inlays and onlays can be made from a variety of materials including gold, porcelain, and composite resin. Our office typically uses porcelain restorations for results that are both strong and blend-in beautifully with your smile.
Placing Your Inlay or Onlay
Before placing your restoration, our team will first remove all decay and damaged tissue. We will then prepare your tooth to ensure that it can provide a stable base and foundation for your inlay or onlay. We will take highly detailed impressions so that our lab can create your customized restorations, a process which usually takes about two weeks. While your permanent restoration is being fabricated, we will provide temporary coverage so that you can resume your routine without any interruption to your routine or the esthetics of your smile.
We work with an outstanding lab facility and skilled ceramists. The technicians will typically craft your restoration from ceramic, a tooth-colored material that is highly durable and can be matched to your smile. Once the finished restoration is back in our office, you will come in for your second appointment. First, we ensure that the inlay or onlay fits correctly and does not upset the force of your bite or put undue pressure on your adjacent teeth. Then, we make the necessary adjustments before securely attaching your restoration.
The Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
Though less well-known than other types of dental restorations, inlays and onlays offer a number of important benefits:
- Inlays and onlays can restore your ability to bite and chew, even if you have a large cavity or cracked tooth
- An inlay or onlay can also strengthen your weakened tooth, often more effectively than a traditional filling
- This conservative treatment can prevent further damage and eliminate your need for extensive restorative work in the future
- Thanks to their smaller size, inlays and onlays require less preparation, preserving more of your natural tooth structure
- Inlays and onlays are durable, typically lasting twenty years or more
Find the Right Restorative Treatment for You
We invite you to learn more about inlays, onlays, and your other restorative options. Contact the Miller Center for more information about how we can repair your smile.

Irene Zisblatt Caught In lie about her Holy Hoax Tale; Says jews would commit suicide by throwing themselves on electric fence, SS tried to stop them
This is the same Irene Zisblatt, of "The Fifth Diamond" fame, the holohoax tale where she claims she ate and retrieved diamonds from her excrement for a year and a half.

So we are to believe the Germans wanted to kill every jew they could get their hands on, but they wouldn't let them commit suicide?

I read "Why Gender Matters" by Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph.D. not too long ago. I wish I could recall the reason I picked it up. Reading that book led me to "boys adrift" also by Dr. Sax. It was at a time of intense desire to learn more about education, not simply the tried and true themes of classroom management, the latest technology for schools, or data-driven instruction. I was hungry for a broader scope, deeper reasons for failures; in search of ideas for solutions.
In my various roles; Reading Specialist, Reading Recovery teacher, ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, Literacy Coach, LAT (Language Acquisition Team) Facilitator, I had a macro view (the broader picture) of each school I served. I enjoyed knowing all the teachers in the building through my work, I gained great knowledge through the liaison role between administration and teachers, and I loved teaching students.
What I was missing for many years was educational ideas outside of my own circle; outside of my building, district, and community. I fell into a trap. The workshops, conferences, and learning opportunities were products of the same rhetoric I was being fed at work. All my knowledge was based on what my administration was dictating. I barely had time to read at my leisure, for my interests. I once heard, "If you've been out of college/university more than five years, your knowledge is outdated."
My knowledge became stagnant.
Attending university was not a cure, but getting into reading again, on various topics that were larger than standardized testing policies and school regulation, was.
A movement for better education must come from the educators inside the classroom walls. Yet, where is the time for them? How will they do it? Who will equip them to advocate for themselves and their students? Social media is a GIANT step in the right direction – because connections and information for better has never been easier to access. And, with the right mindset of being a student as well as a teacher – change is no doubt going to happen.
I am reading voraciously these days. I am stunned. I am shocked. I am excited. I am bursting at the seams! I now have a wealth of information that has infused me, once again to benefit my work as an educator.
"boys adrift" has completely changed the way I think about boys in the classroom or even in the world. I have learned ways to support boys in their learning. I now better understand their needs, thinking, and physical requirements in a way that will translate brilliantly to my work.

WMS Gaming
Online casino is a prevailing industry today. It is even more popular with the rise of Bitcoin. Players and casinos found a way for an easier method payment to place their wagers. The demand for Bitcoin casino software spiked and today, Bitcoin casinos are everywhere. WMS Gaming is one of the iGaming's giants. They have been in the industry for too long that you can almost use its name as a household term for casino games.
One of the oldest and pioneers of online casinos
The WMS Gaming brand started in the 1940s with games like pinball. The brand never thought twice about entering the online casino world. It really hit off the market after it released the video arcade around the early 90s. WMS then acquired and tied up with powerful names like Midway Games.
Arcade and pinball slowly sunk down the market and so WMS Gaming had to up their game. This gave birth to what we call today as Williams Gaming. This branch focuses on online gaming and lotteries. WMS saw an opening in around 1994 when online casinos were born. They started creating online slots that are created after the hit slot machines. Some of the popular names are Reel 'em In, Filthy Rich, and Jackpot Party. These games have doubled up bonuses for the player that made them a huge hit.
WMS Gaming encountered many challenges through time but the name still prevails today.
Excellent performance and top-quality gaming experience
The test of time made WMS stronger than ever. Today, Bitcoin casinos like NetBet use WMS software and games to build top-quality sites. The brand is able to adapt to the ever-changing trend and deliver an excellent work for it. It brings its excellence back in the day to today's new players with their proven-by-time skills and eye for casinos.
What the users sought after the WMS Gaming is its unique site wide progressive. WMS uses the Jackpot Party Progressive to give prizes and bonuses to players. What's great about this feature is that it's connected to all of the fiat and Bitcoin slots of WMS casinos. It pops up randomly and players will have the chance to get big bonuses and prizes.
Nowadays, a fast phase lifestyle is a normal thing for everyone. WMS Gaming's instant play is just the right move in this time and age. It lets the players play games straight to their browsers bringing in the fun fast and smoothly.

Treehuggers ring the bells of doom ... again
WASHINGTON - The Earth is running a slight fever from greenhouse gases, after enjoying relatively stable temperatures for 2,000 years. The National Academy of Sciences, after reconstructing global average surface temperatures for the past two millennia, said Thursday the data are "additional supporting evidence ... that human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming."
where to begin? First, libs, who accurately measured temperature 2000 years ago? Jesus Christ?; or if you follow lib logic - it must have been Darwin's apes, liberal's forefathers. These so-called "environmentalists" scare me as much as Islamic terrorists (and there are actual enviro-terrorists, but it's a separate story) because they are prepared to trade human progress for a bug's life - btw, those idiot libtards wining about extinct ticks and beetles should know better, because according to liberal Darwin's theory - they perished in survival of the fittest ... hey, libs, I don't see you grow any gills yet. Point is, no one, can still decisively and impartially even begin to explain atmospheric phenomenon like ozone holes and global warming, forget trying linking them to anything. Yet lib boys and girls (Rachel Carson - Silent Spring) do like to cry, "Wolf!", to the point where chemical DDT that was rumored harmful to some DoDo bird who craps on your head, got banned for use as pesticide in Africa, resulting in 1,000s of Africans to die of Famine, just ask Angelina. Don't even start with Kyoto Accords trying to take us to Stone Age, or lib fear of nuclear power (whereby their preference is fossil fuels?! - i.e. blood for oil) - hey, libtards, another contradiction .... anyways, these "human cause global warming" tirades are as invalid as other lib arguments - i.e. gay gene (how does that survive through generations btw?), or all Wahaabist and Salafist Muslims are peaceful. Now if you excuse me, I have to drive around for a while, idle my car at few parking lots, and vent at this.

As the shift in comic distribution and bad economy continues worsen (here's hoping the economy is on a recovery), the small comic book shops are going to continue to close. We heard about this during the 100th issue of the Major Spoilers Podcast, and my own comic book shop closed about five years ago. Word came from Fantom Comics that it was also closing its store in the Washington, D.C. area, but instead of leaving all of its customers in the cold, it is switching to home delivery.
According to the company website, there is a $15 minimum order for non-subscribers, but once you meet that minimum and live in the area, they will deliver the comics to your home for free.
Deliveries will take place every Wednesday (11am-7pm) and Saturday (noon-6pm).

I mentioned my own comic book store (located an hour and a half away) closed its door about five years ago, but my comic service was never interrupted as James moved the business into his home. For those of us located far away, he simply bills us for the shipping charge, which isn't a huge amount. For those in Salina, he gets together each week with the comic readers at a local restaurant, they wine and dine, talk about the current comics, and then go on their merry way with their weekly stash.
I'm glad businesses are figuring out ways to adapt in these changing times, and it ensures that comic shops – even in a different form, will continue for many years.
1 Comment
Exactly what a comic shop should do: take care of their regulars when sales go south. Keep those people still in the circle and if you can get a store open again, you already have a customer base in place.

113 Waterworks Way, Suite 300
Irvine, CA 92618
How much do your breasts sag? If you put a pencil under your breast and it stays there, breast lift surgery, also known as a mastopexy, might be an option for you. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, and gravity can all conspire to stretch and weaken the supporting skin and ligaments, causing the breasts to droop and sag. Your breasts may have a flabby, slack appearance, with a loss of firmness and fullness in the upper breasts.
Custom-Tailored Breast Lift in Orange County
During your breast lift in Orange County here at Athenix Body Sculpting Institute, your surgeon can remove excess skin to lift and tighten the breasts. A breast lift alone will not make your breasts larger. If you have lost breast volume or simply want larger breasts, we can combine the procedure with breast augmentation in Orange County to give you fuller, higher, perkier breasts.
You and Your Wishes Matter Above All Else.
Before we begin any surgical procedure, our physicians work with our patients on a one-on-one basis to understand the results they are hoping to achieve and to set realistic expectations for the outcome. When you come to us for a breast lift, we will custom tailor a procedure designed to fit your unique anatomy. Your Irvine breast lift surgeon will take careful measurements and discuss the various types of lifts to determine which approach will achieve your best results.
The breast lift technique that is best for you will depend on a number of factors, including:
- Breast size and shape
- Degree of sagging
- Skin elasticity and quality
- Amount of extra skin
- Size and position of areolas
Breast Lift Incision Techniques
Our Orange County breast lift surgeons have a variety of incision placement techniques to select from for your breast lift procedure. Your surgeon will recommend the best type of breast lift for you based on the amount of excess skin, the condition of your existing breast tissue, and your personal goals to achieve the most attractive results, with the least scarring possible. Types of breast lifts include:
- Crescent Lift: This technique causes minimal scarring and is used to correct minimal sagging. It involves a small incision halfway around the top edge of the areola. The crescent lift is generally only done when a patient is also receiving implants.
- Peri-areolar (Donut) Lift: For this type of breast lift, the surgeon makes a circular incision running all the way around the areola. The Donut lift can be used to correct mild sagging and is often done in conjunction with implants. It can also be effective when reducing the size of the areola.
- Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: This type of lift allows the surgeon to reshape the entire breast and remove excess skin, leaving scars that can be easily hidden. The surgeon makes two incisions – one running around the edge of the areola, and the other running vertically from the bottom of the areola to the inframammary fold at the bottom of the breast. Together, these incisions make the shape of a lollipop.
- Inverted T (Anchor) Lift: The Anchor breast lift is used to correct significant sagging and dramatically reshape the breast. It allows the surgeon to remove a substantial amount of tissue and skin and may be the best technique to correct pendulous breasts and excessive sagging. It involves two incisions: 1) from the bottom of the areola vertically to the breast crease; and 2) along the inframammary fold. A third incision may also be made around the areola for an Anchor lift with areola reduction.
Restoring Your Breasts: Turning Back the Clock
The larger your breasts, the stronger the downward pull, but even small breasts can succumb to gravity eventually. A breast lift can help you regain the perky, projecting breasts you had in your younger, pre-childbearing days and improve your self-image as well as your silhouette. With a breast lift procedure tailored specifically for you, our highly-trained Irvine breast lift surgeon can correct:
- Sagging breasts
- Pendulous breasts
- Nipples that face downward
- Loss of firmness
- Loss of cleavage and breast closeness
- Loss of fullness in the upper breasts
- Loss of volume (with breast augmentation)
What to Expect after a Breast Lift at Athenix
Your breast lift will be performed under general anesthesia in our onsite state-of-the-art surgical facility in Irvine. The procedure will take a few hours, and you will need someone to drive you home after the surgery.
You can expect some swelling, soreness, and bruising for one to two weeks after the surgery. The swelling will resolve and your incision lines will fade over time. We may recommend that you wear a surgical bra for a week after your breast lift, and a support bra for several weeks thereafter.
Recovery time is approximately one week. Most of our Orange County breast lift patients are able to return to work and light activity in about a week, depending on the type of work they do. It is important to avoid bending over and any strenuous activity that could put pressure on the chest during the first week after the surgery.
Your incision scars will continue to fade for months after your breast lift, and eventually turn into thin white lines. The surgical technique used in your breast lift procedure affects the appearance of your scars. Your Athenix surgeon will custom tailor a breast lift procedure to safely achieve the best possible results with the least amount of scarring.
Transform Your Breasts at Athenix
Sagging breasts after childbirth or weight loss can ruin the lines of your physique, make you appear older than you actually are, and lower your self-confidence. No woman wants to have breasts that droop or have downward pointing nipples.
Breast lift surgery can make your breasts higher and firmer with more cleavage and restore fullness in the upper breasts. It can make you feel more feminine and younger looking and raise your self-esteem.
Meet with Our Team: A Free Consultation
The first step toward regaining your curves is to schedule a free consultation with a plastic surgeon at Athenix Body Sculpting Institute in Irvine. We will be happy to discuss your goals and concerns and design a breast lift procedure specifically for you.

Let me try to restate what I think you may have said. Consider the following example: ps.set???Stream( 1, userSuppliedStream, userSuppliedLength ); ps.executeUpdate(); ps.executeUpdate(); The JDBC spec does not explain what should happen on the second update. Major implementors may handle the second update differently, particularly if the stream is actually longer than userSuppliedLength (I think there is wiggle room in the spec around whether the stream's length is EXACTLY or AT LEAST userSuppliedLength). Are you saying that Derby's behavior on the second update: 1) Differs depending on what the data type is 2) Differs depending on whether you are using the client or embedded driver 3) Differs depending on what kind of stream is being used (binary, ascii, character) 4) Is non-deterministic Thanks, -Rick > > > Regards,

New Driving Rules 1st MArch 17
Three big changes to the law for drivers and their children come into force today, 1st March 2017
Using a phone at the wheel
Drivers will receive six points on their licence, instead of three, if caught using their phone at the wheel.
The new, stricter rules come into effect from March 1, 2017, and will see motorists slapped with £200 fines, up from £100.
The changes are set to have a significant impact on new drivers, who can have their licence revoked if they accrue six penalty points during their first two years on the road, so effectively risk having their driving licence revoked following a first offence.
Motorists will no longer be offered the opportunity to go on a driver awareness course.
Using any 'internet device' at the wheel
Under the new legislation the penalties for anyone caught using their phone - or any 'internet device' behind the wheel have been doubled.
With the changes taking place from today police have issued the following advice:
Switch off before you drive off.
• Even if you're using a hands-free phone you should avoid making or answering calls when driving.
• All phone calls distract drivers' attention from the road.
• Park safely before using your mobile phone.
• DO NOT park on the hard shoulder of the motorway.
• Don't call other people when they're driving.
• If you call someone and they tell you they are driving, ask them to call you back when they have parked up safely.
Child car seats
The regulations around car booster seats have now changed.
To put it simply the new laws aim to improve kids' safety by stopping manufacturers introducing new backless booster seats for children who are smaller than a certain size.
UK law states that children must use a child car seat until they're 12 years old or 135cm (4ft 5in) tall, whichever comes first. Under the new rules, backless booster seats will only be approved for use for children taller than 125cm and weighing more than 22kg.
But safety experts recommend you use a child car seat for all children under 150cm (4ft 11in).
For children weighing more than 36kg (5st 10lb) but under 150cm (4ft 11in) it is advised to go by height.
Remember it is the driver's responsibility for children being in car seats while travelling.
Recent data showed that only 13 per cent of parents understood the new rules.

Safe Winter Driving
Well, it's happened. Winter's arrived. It's sneaked up on us. Stealthily. Unannounced. It only seems a couple of weeks ago I was sitting in shirt sleeves, shades on, watching football and wondering when this late-summer sunshine was going to end. Then last week I was brushing snow off the car before I could travel to the next match!
It has a habit of doing that, the weather in this great country of ours. It always seems able to catch us unawares, as if it's never behaved unpredictably before......and we're never ready for it!
When it comes to ensuring your car is ready for winter, you want to be ready. If it's not there's a good chance that it'll let you down – usually just when you need it the most.
There are some measures you can take to keep your vehicle in good mechanical condition. Like ensuring your car is regularly serviced and maintained. What condition is your battery in? Are you aware that your car's battery has a finite life of about 5 years? Any older than that and it is probably coming towards the end of its useful life. So don't wait until it's too late, or the next frosty morning may catch you out. Here at Ramsey's Ltd we can carry out a full service for you if required, or a winter health check, and recommend any remedial actions that may be required.
However, there are also some simple checks you can carry out yourself to reduce the likelihood of being caught out at this time of year.
How are your lights? Are they clean? Are the bulbs all working? Seeing clearly and, just as importantly, being seen is essential in winter.
What about your wiper blades? Do they work efficiently? These should be replaced every two-to-three years to ensure they do. Also, ensure you have plenty of good-quality screen wash – it's amazing how much we use at this time of year!
You can also check all your under-bonnet fluid levels, so oils and coolant are correct.
And don't forget to check your tyre pressures and tread depths as these are important for good traction as the roads get more and more slippery.
Finally, how is your windscreen? Keeping it clean is fairly easy, but does it have any stone chips in? At this time of year, when the temperature drops, a small chip can very soon become a large crack. Getting the chip repaired is easier, and cheaper, than having to replace the whole windscreen. Check your now and avoid the inconvenience of a windscreen replacement.
Or better still, pop in to see us and we'll carry out a Winter Health Check for you – FOR FREE!
Drive safely this winter with Ramsey's Ltd.
Spooks and Ghouls in your car this halloween?
There are more than just spooks and ghouls to send shivers down your spine at this time of year. The transition from summer motoring to dark, early-autumn mornings can be equally scary. Adjusting to the changing conditions can be difficult; it's all too easy to find yourself in a situation which could easily have been avoided. Don't be found wanting, saying... 'I should have…'
On cold, dark, autumn mornings discovering a flat battery can be a nightmare, yet the ensuing disruption can easily be avoided. If your battery is more than five years old, check if it's coming to the end of its life. Despite the good summer, your battery may already be showing warning signs. Don't wait until it's too late, the first frost will be sure to catch you out. Owning a set of jump leads and battery chargers is essential at this time of year. Also, remember to check your wiper blades and replace every two-to-three years.
When it comes to tyres, be sure and look for any signs of bulges or cuts. Ensure tyre pressures are checked regularly. It's also important to check the depths of the tread on your tyres. The minimum legal limit is currently 1.6 millimetres, across the central ¾ of the tread around the complete circumference of the tyre.
Many car manufacturers, and Ramsey's garage, recommend you replace your tyres once the tread falls below 3mm. On average, a car will take about 8 metres/25 feet longer to stop when the tyre tread is 1.6mm compared to 3mm.
Due to consecutive bad winters, more drivers are now choosing to change their car's tyres
to all weather tyres. Consider how small changes in the weather can lead to big changes on our roads. Morning dew can lead to wet leaves on minor roads, creating slippery conditions. Sharp frosts can be lethal, so drive with care at all times.
Windscreen damage is more visual, but putting off repairing those small chips can lead to bigger problems later. Repair any chips from summer as soon as possible. Small chips can quickly become more serious damage, especially when the temperature begins to fall.
We can't stress enough the importance of using good-quality screen wash; always make sure it's fully topped up - we use far more during winter. There's nothing worse than driving down a dark motorway discovering your water's empty.
Last but not least, think about the driving conditions. Leave plenty of time for your journey and consider the space between you and the car in front. During autumn the low morning sun can also lead to long tailbacks with sudden braking. Drive with the conditions in mind.
Don't forget the clocks go back Sunday 30th October!
Have a happy and safe Halloween with Ramsey's Ltd, Newton Aycliffe.

Series: Soul Screamers #5.5
Published by Harlequin Enterpises AU on 2013-04-01
Genres: Fantasy & Magic, Paranormal, Young Adult
Pages: 54
Format: Paperback
Don't Close Your Eyes. Sophie Cavanaugh is not going to let her freak of a cousin's strange psychiatric condition ruin high school for them both. Not after all the work she's put into cultivating the right look, and friends, and reputation. But then, Sophie sees something so frightening she lets out a blood-curdling scream—and finds herself stuck in a bizarre parallel world where nothing is safe and deadly creatures lurk just out of sight, waiting for her to close her eyes and sleep...forever. Could this world be real? Or does insanity run in the family...?
Ehhh. I dunno. I can't knock the writing because Rachel Vincent is phenomenal. Her entire Soul Screamers series is fantastic and I love it as a whole, but I just can't bring myself to like Sophie even a little bit. We are not supposed to like her but I thought after reading he novella that maybe I'd have a soft spot for her like I did Sabine and …. I DO NOT. I simply don't like her. I don't like her character and she needs to friggin' grow up and stop being so self centered and annoying. This new character that Ms. Vincent is bringing out in the novella and will appear in Before I Wake sounds pretty exciting though. Should have left Sophie in the underworld!

1995 - Mr Major's Comments on the Leadership Election
Below is the text of Mr Major's comments on his leadership campaign, made on the 30th June 1995.
[Mr Major was asked how many votes he'd get in the leadership contest]
I think you're just going to have to wait until Tuesday, you're wasting questions asking me that, we'll wait and see and I think we're going to have a very handsome victory on Tuesday. You'll see it then, and I look forward to talking to all of you and the nation as a whole about matters relating to policy and not the miscellaneous nonsense that we've had for so much of the last three years. If people are short-changed in any way, this is the most mature democracy, it actually deserves a debate about the things that matter about policy, and that's what it's going to get as soon as we've got this leadership election out of the way.

During his award presentation for "Best Supporting Actress" at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, Ricky Gervais used his time to take some quick shots at the event's celebrity attendees, giving TV viewers a reminder of the biting humor he deployed in his previous hosting gigs.
"It's going well, isn't it? Gervais opened. "Let's not ruin it by me saying, anything, really. No one wants to see me insult any of you rich, beautiful, over-privileged celebrities, no ordinary people at home wants to see that. Cause you're better than the ordinary people. And you know it, and they know it deep down."
"I'm not gonna start picking on things you've done, some of it immoral, a lot of it illegal," Gervais continued. "But if we've learned one thing it's that famous people are above the law, as it should be. I'm not gonna get into the terrible things you've done to get here tonight."
"Streep," he deadpanned, drawing a big laugh. "Clooney. I'm not even looking at Katie Holmes."
"Let's get on with it before I say something insulting," Gervais concluded.

Statement from Cllr Warren Morgan, Leader of the Council, supported by Cllr Tom Bewick and Cllr Dan Chapman, Chair and Deputy Chair of Children, Young People and Skills Committee.
"We value and support all our local schools including our academy schools. But it's disheartening and frustrating to hear the government's announcement that they want all schools in England to convert to become an academy, a policy which under this Government is much more about ideological endeavour than about school improvement.
Ofsted have already highlighted serious concerns about some Multi Academy Trusts and the performance in their schools and with 82% of local authority maintained schools rated either good or outstanding it's hard to justify forcing schools to become an academy.
Forcing schools to become an academy and join a MAT takes the focus in the school away from improvement and the outcomes of the children and instead focuses their attention to the conversion. MATs and especially some of the larger chains are becoming more and more centralised, removing local governing bodies and distancing themselves further away from the school they run.
The government needs to recognise that local authorities are in a unique position of having the best knowledge for the local area which is essential to plan school places and ensure provisions are equally and appropriately distributed. The government is taking this ability away from local authorities, which will lead, in the future, to greater inequality and disparities between schools.
We need our schools to be focused on the outcomes of children not worrying about their external structure and how they will be maintained. Our schools need to be locally accountable to parents, governors and communities. Forcing schools to join large MATs denies local residents this fundamental right.
If the Government insists on this approach then we intend to look at establishing a co-operative trust to run our schools, maintaining as much local control as possible and preventing multi-academy trusts from cherry-picking the popular schools and leaving the rest to struggle. We want all schools in the city to be excellent schools, and will work on defending them from what is an ideological assault on both education and local councils."
We fully support the Aldridge Foundation, which we regard as a local sponsor, and which was established under Labour's academy programme. They have invested huge amounts in our schools to improve educational outcomes in areas with previously lower attainment.

If you were to see me in real life, and if I were to do nothing but smile at you, would you already have a predetermined misconception of me? Perhaps something along the lines that are docile and nice – I suspect this Asian stereotype thing has something to do with it.
Today I had to watch a very emotional presentation by the Abbotsford police on abusive use of ecstasy at my school. They featured two teenagers whom both police officers had personally known; the two had one year from a few days before today and in the 22nd of december died because of their overdose. Now, it is needless to say there are plenty of much better quality and well-informed documentations regarding teen use of drugs, but for me I just wanted to point out the irony in what I saw of the two deceased teen's friends and family member.
They were normal looking people. Attractive. People I probably would have judged – party hard, snobs, jocks, snooty popular girls, any selfish terrible thoughts; hence disliked.
But they had a history.
They looked like people who I usually avoid. Just for my social uncomfortableness. The louder, well-liked, popular, grouped kids that joined teams and joked around in class. Today I sat with a few similar boys in my class, whom I'd never though I'd ever share a laugh with, but I did. They were not rude, they did not judge me, did not ridicule me because of my race or age or the fact that I never spoke to them before. In fact, they were probably the most accepting people I've found in this entire school. So what had they been previously guilty of in my head to receive a faulty penalty?
— After the presentation we were asked to slowly exit the theater and each given a chance to share a handshake or hug with our fellow young peers on stage. I'd like to add beforehand that I had always had a bad image of people I dub playful obnoxious. I simply don't like them – they deserve the consequences right? They knew, saw it coming ( well godamn that concept just doesn't cut it when I get a bad grade though ) But I never cared enough to comment, cause, who cares right ( or maybe because I don't want to be criticized for being what people my age would call lame ). But near the end of the video shown above ( and please do watch, it's 18 mins of your time and definitely well worth it ) I started to cry, despite the large gathering of audiences, for this young teenager's poem speaking of his feelings after his best friend's death. I cried, not just tear-tear, but such a dramatic rush that my friends thought I had gone mad. He was a senior. A well-built young man, lean, attractive and never would've been suspected of being capable of such emotion, depth and honesty into his work. Beyond his strikingly pure words, it was the fact that his voice was cracking, and sobering and desperate to continue on. And it kept going, in a none wavering way, regardless of it's precarious faltering form. And I absolutely adore and admire him for doing that. I gave him a hug and I told him his poem was awesome. And out of all the young peers I interacted with, I felt he was the most genuine when he said , Thank you, that means a lot, and gave this gravely humbling smile. He learned his lesson.
Then watching his example, trying to learn myself, I decided to talk to an adult there about the fact that my cousin has decided to start blazing. Which I found out is smoking marijuana – of which is also often laced with meth to make the experience all the more addictive. If you had read my previous post of 'Sexy Can I' then you might recall the part about indulging in certain activities with 'safe' people. Hell all the teenagers on stage today had been drugging up with their best friends too. They thought they were safe. Same dealer, same drug. My cousin does too. And though I cannot change her mind with coerce, I do hope that if I were to bring up this topic, with the courage that I lacked before when she had previously confessed this, be able to somewhat convince her to make her own decision to stop it. It's not fun. It's not worth it. Imagining her on the hospital bed embedded with tubes, in exchange for her to get high for a few hours? It was all a set back for my father's death.
Now if you were to look at her, same as me, you might also think nice things. But see, you never know. One of us does partying and explores drug use and one of us doesn't. Neither of us having extreme body arts, or piercings. But if you were to look at someone who had such an unique and expressive form, what would be your first impression? Funny how society warps your view. But I'm not in any way trying to compare my cousin and I to make one out as the bad guy because I know so much more to her then to bring myself to judge her as I would any random stranger. Cept for the fact that, you'd never have guessed. Because the way we look, act, speak, are naturally categorized by society and associated in your mind with something nice.
In hindsight, I thought of a young man that had shared the school bus with me last year. He was a BASE kids, more higher functioning, and really, just any other regular school kid. He turned around in his seat and told a joke. His eyes appeared to be bulging because of his thick glasses. Two enormous pearls of swirling blue-green that looked between me and my bus mate. His smile large and only more emphasized by his large teeth. He had told us a joke. But I had not laugh because I held the idea that I would not laugh with this kind of person. Then the girl beside me giggled. And then it felt alright to laugh. Why? Because someone 'normal' , 'higher-standarded' had laughed so now its okay for me to also express something genuine? I thought of him today, and I apologize.
So again, if you were to look at me, and I have not spoken yet. Had my first words been to confess I had gotten an C+ in math, would that surprise you? Or if I had said I do all of the terrible hard-core things known for teenagers, what would you immediately think then? I am constantly, and very pleasantly surprised by the well mannered greeting of a peculiarly dressed man, or authenticity of heavily tattooed/pierced people. When you think of them, what are those 'kinds of people' like, how did they come about like so.
Am I judged because I'm guilty by association?

The most disruptive thing when I'm working is when my phone need my attention. The question is why I need take my eyes away from the screen? It would be great if I can interact with my phone directly from the machine I'm working on. Read the rest of this entry »
Normally when you create AutoMapper profile, it is you responsibility to register them. However with the dependency injection container (DI) you have great possibility to automate this.
Admittedly, I'm not UI expert. Even the world of HTML, JavaScript and CSS is interesting I have again and again the same problems. Some of my problem is, that I like to make the things quickly. And CSS and HTML is often repetitive try and error task.
One of products I'm working on is using Telerik's Kendo UI. It is nice, but sometimes not so intuitive and not very well documented, product suite.
I'm not sure if this have something to do with the Windows 8.1 Update but the reality is that I wasn't able to install SQL Server 2014 on my machine after the Windows 8.1 Update.
Some things I'm excited about, some things I'm less excited about. This sentence, which perfecty represents what I'm feeling is an allusion to Joes Belfiore's short statement to the question about possibility of Nokia using Android. In the beginning were rumors and at the end is the bitter reality.
Ok, don't be cross with me, I know the comments aren't clean code. But sometimes we need them. ReSharper templates is excellent possibility to write your comments quicker and personalized so you can ask the next time: "hey guy what did you meant with this?".
Before I show you the cooperation between the Autofac and Microsoft Extensibility Framework (MEF) I want bring you in short my opinion why is there the place for both of them. If you are try to search around, you will find lot of posts which describes the differences between the MEF or Autofac, also, you will find lot of posts which advocates to use MEF as IoC Container, or, on other side, to use Autofac as replacement of the MEF.
Maybe you are surprised, maybe not, but fact is that you can increase the performance of reading and writing data with the explicit database connections.
There are many approaches how we can join the data in the memory with the data in database. But you should know the advantages and disadvantages for each one.
The performance measurement is one of the most important things in the software development. Performance should be addressed throughout the whole development process and not only when the risks become problems. Major motivation for running something in the cloud is the fault-tolerance and scalability. Notice: without performance, scalability doesn't exists.
"Performance and scalability are inseparable from each other. It doesn't make sense to talk about scalability if a software system doesn't perform. However, a software system may perform but not scale."
This article shows you an approach how to dynamically measure performance of your code at runtime. With the help of PostSharp I created the aspect which is applicable to the all members in the solution. This aspect is using the performance counter of type AverageTimer32 to the measure average execution time. Read the rest of this entry »
